He was of medium build about 5' 10" as I recall. That car is huge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the risk of straying further I remember a quote by Ted in the Mercer chapter of Ken Purdy's Kings of the Road book where Purdy is extolling the virtues of a T-Head raceabout. Ted was obviously not in agreement and said, ".....that I can trim any stock Mercer built prior to 1915 in a one mile run up to a medium steep grade in third speed with my 1912 White seven-passenger touring car....." I would think that Ed's newer White would perform even better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jukejunkie1015 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Roy Berrens, of Puyallup, photographed in May of 1969 with his 1916 White Touring car. Mr. Berrens has been restoring his seven-passenger White touring car for over a year. He first dismantled the car and overhauled the drive train and painted the frame. He spent the past winter restoring and painting the body, doors and dash and plans to restore the upholstery and top this coming winter. Eventually the engine will be overhauled. During the summer the White is reassembled so the Berrens family can take open-air spins. The White is a Model GED with a four cylinder 29-horsepower engine. The car weighs 4,700 pounds and contains two jump seats which added to the regular seating makes it a seven-passenger ride. The White Model GED is rarely seen as the vast majority of White products in that era were heavy duty trucks. Mr. Berrens' White was originally purchased by the Rainier National Park Co. as a park touring car. It was bought by Mr. Berrens in 1966 after it had spent 30 years in a Puyallup wrecking yard. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is keeping us all safe and occupied with automotive history but even more so "sane" because we can count on seeing "cool cars" and vehicles that we know and count on to make us happy. SO here are my days offerings: 1907 Austin ( English) 1926 Ballot ( sorry I do not know the body builder) 192?

Very cool.......Was this from a magazine? That’s a single valve 45 horse power car on a 124 inch wheel base. Similar to mine, just a junior cousin.........my car is 14 inches longer in the chassis and 72 horse power. Amazing that no one I know of is familiar with this car in the photo.

Walt G Posted August 23, 2020 Author Share Posted August 23, 2020 Colin WOW, great picture of the Ford. As I mentioned before - its what you see beyond just the make of car - coachwork, license plates, back ground buildings and architecture - the whole history lesson of an era put into perspective. Wonder if this Ford is on an extended wheelbase? Thanks Walt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
